Answer:
126 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of section 1 is 8 square units which is triangle and,
Area of triangle is = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h[/tex]
b= 2 units and height =8 units
So,
Area of section 1 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 8=8 \quad\text{ square units}[/tex]
Same Area is of section 2 which is also a triangle and has same base and height.
So,
Area of Section 2 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 8=8 \quad\text{ square units}[/tex]
Now the Area of section 3 which is square with side of 10 units
So,
Area of section 3 = [tex]a^{2} =10\times10=100\quad \text{square units}[/tex]
Total Area of Trapezoid = [tex]8+8+100=126 \quad \text{square units}[/tex]
